Wow, it’s December!! Where does the time go?! This week we have parent conferences, so I am in a mad rush to take down Thanksgiving and put up Christmas in time for the big day. I decided to decorate my classroom door {inspiration}:
I love it!! I think I just want to move that “X” down a little bit so it’s more centered. OCD 🙂
I also decorated one of my closet doors, inspired by Annie of The Moffatt Girls:
To make this, I cut out about 20 triangles from dark and light green construction paper and layered them on the door. Then I put up a string of red beads with Scotch tape. I covered the ugly taped areas with different colored “ornaments.” Then I put up the lights, plugged ’em in, and voila! My kids are loving it! I still have a lot more decorating to do, but I’ll be sure to share when I’m done 🙂
Now onto the freebies!! If you’re looking for a TON of great ideas for the holiday season, then I know just the thing! Some really great teachers came together to compile two books FULL of holiday tips and freebies:
Both books have freebies that can be used in PK-2, but since there were so many awesome ideas, they had to be split into two books. My contribution can be found in the 1st to 2nd grade edition, and looks like this:
For my freebie, and a whole lot more, just head to TpT and download both books!! A big thanks to Mrs. Miner for putting this all together!!
Adorable! (as always!!)

WOw, great doors! We cannot celebrate Christmas as our school is very diverse and has many different faiths, I do try to do something that brings in the Magic of the season without the Santa and the religion. For the past few years I have done Gingerbread man stuff, but this year I am going to do fairies and elves..who leave messages for the kids about things they do well and things that need improvements. Anyone else who doesn't do CHristmas at their school, and if so, what do you do?
I have been eyeing up that door decoration on Pinterest for a while. It's very cute. Great job!
